Who Can Bring a Premises Liability Claim in Tennessee?
To bring a successful premises liability claim in Tennessee, the injured person typically must have been on the property lawfully. This includes invitees (like customers), licensees (like social guests), or tenants. Trespassers generally have fewer rights, but there are exceptions, especially if children are involved. To win your case, our team must show that:
- The property owner or manager had knowledge (actual or constructive) of the hazardous condition
- They failed to take reasonable steps to fix the issue or warn about it
- That failure directly caused your injury
Premises liability cases often require immediate evidence collection. That might include security footage, witness statements, maintenance logs, or inspection reports. Our lawyers move quickly to preserve and analyze this vital evidence.
